DocTalker Family Medicine (Vienna, VA) and the American Telemedicine Association are carrying out a pilot study of telemedicine as an employee benefit to reduce absenteeism. Dr. Alan Dappen, founder of DocTalker, believes that his practice can solve over 55% of his patients’ medical issues over the phone. His service works 24/7/365, and he calls it “concierge-level medical practice for everyone.” It is a fee for service business without insurance reimbursement. MORE
